I wouldn't know about that. Anyway it is not a documented option, so it is not good practice to depend on it. I am (pretending to be) a clueless user that sees it 'doesn't work anymore'. I can have a look at the src.rpm and see if there is any patch that disables it...

It's documented in -help [1] and in the man page [2]...

There are 2 binaries that start the Xorg server: /usr/libexec/Xorg.bin and /usr/libexec/Xorg.wrap. Both fail when passing the -listen option. I grepped through the patches included in the src.rpm, but there is no match for 'listen'. After rpmbuild -bp or after straight unpacking of the tarball, the os/utils.c file doesn't show any strcmp for "-listen", so I would say it isn't supported indeed. So far my investigations...
